Identify these bikes! / Levis Which model and year?
« on: February 20, 2010, 02:49:12 PM »
Hi Everybody,
I am trying to help a friend identify the model and year for a Levis motorcycle that my friend recently acquired. The bike has belt drive to the rear wheel so I think it is probably an early 1920's or earlier model. I have posted some pictures of the bike at the following link. http://picasaweb.google.com/cooltehrani/FarhanSFiles?feat=directlink
Any information regarding the model or year this could be from will be appreciated, as my friend plans to restore the bike after positively identifying the model and year.

Thanks

I am looking for the front and rear fenders for my plunger frame 1952 Norton Model 7. I live in the U.S so it would be preferable to find them around here. Any information as to where I can find original or reproduction fenders would be appreciated.

Identify these bikes! / Villiers Super Sports TT. Excelsior??
« on: October 23, 2009, 09:35:11 PM »
Hi everybody,
My dad owns a motorcycle with a Villiers Super Sports TT engine. We think it is an Excelsior but haven't been able to find another example on the internet to compare how original it is. The engine number is KZ1791 and the frame number is W1056. After doing a bit of research on the internet about the Villiers Super sports TT engine I believe it to be 172cc made between 1926 and 1932, but I have no idea about the model of the bike. So any more info about the bike would be appreciated.  
Thanks

British Bikes / AJS 1922
« on: June 22, 2009, 04:59:24 PM »
Hi everybody,
My dad has recently bought the AJS pictured below and I'm trying to help him get some more information regarding the bike. The bike seems to be in very orignal condition apart from the safety rim in the front and new leather bags. We've been told its a 350cc model B 1922. Would this have been the sporting version or touring version as according to an online source 3 variations of the 350cc were made (B,B1 and B2 models) in 1922. And I was also wondering if this is a relatively common model or year? Any other info would also be appreciated.
Also even though the bike is currently in the USA, there are traces of a british number XK 936 in the rear number plate. I believe the original front number plate was sold along with the number before coming to the US. Hopefully this should help in getting some history behind the bike.
Thanks

Hi everybody,
Can anyone tell me what would be the correct smiths speedometer model for a 1951 Triumph Thunderbird? Would it be like the ones that have the tachometer according to the gear in the center?

British Bikes / Nortons
« on: May 23, 2008, 06:24:30 AM »
hello everybody.
Can anyone tell me the differences in the engine of a Norton model 18 and an ES2. And is there any other difference between the two bikes other than that the later ES2's had plunger suspension and the model 18 had rigid.
Another question. Does anyone know how many Norton Model 55 's were made? My dad has one, its either a 1933 or 1934 as it has hand shift for gears, but i dont seem to be able to find much information on this model on the internet.
Thanks
